So Centos 8 will be a beta test stream for features and fixes, but for CVEs it will lag behind RH. That's an interesting twist.

Isn't that how things already work wrt security updates on RHEL/CentOS? CentOS AFAIK doesn't get any advance warning, only once RHEL pushes out a security update they rebuild and release.

Of course, with this it might be even slower, in that first RHEL pushes out the security update, and then people will start looking whether that change needs to be forward-ported to CentOS stream, or whether it can be used as-is etc.

Seems a push for companies to move to RedHat licenses.
